A 36-year-old woman has been charged with second-degree assault after prosecutors say she used racist and homophobic language before biting a chunk of flesh from another woman’s forehead in downtown Seattle.

Charging documents filed by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office identify the defendant as Kamilia Chadli. Police said the victim, Diana Gonzalez, was left with permanent injuries and required a skin graft to close the wound.

The attack was reported about 3:45 p.m. Sept. 18 near Third Avenue and Marion Street. Gonzalez was walking to a 7-Eleven for a beverage near her workplace when the attack happened, according to charging documents.

“This was a totally random attack," said Gonzalez. "She started yelling racist things after throwing trash and spitting on me. Then she bit my face — she bit a piece of my face off.”

Gonzalez told officers she was walking past a woman, later identified as Chadli, when Chadli threw a food wrapper at her. When Gonzalez asked why, Chadli yelled, “You’re the inferior race,” used a homophobic slur, and spit on the victim, according to charging documents.
